When do we question our programming and break free of our bondage. If you are like me we have been raised and propagandized to believe success is defined by being in debt and  allowing someone else to take your time and freedom. In return they give you a piece of paper with numbers on it which ends up being spent on your debt. Obviously debt is the devil. It is more forceful and obstructive then any boss or slave driver, yet we allow ourselves to be enslaved so we can prance around town with shiny new plastic and rubber. If you realize that don’t you get a not, a churn in your stomach. You just want to vomit. 

     I am 30 now and it took me the majority of my life to realize this. I am pimping myself out to an owner who would fire me in a heart beat just to save a penny. No matter how much or little you produce you are just a cog in the wheel, a number on a ledger. Everybody knows the acronym for JOB (Jackass Of Boss) or (Just Over Broke) and being an employee is a.k.a. slave.

“Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities.  The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary.”  ~Albert Einstein

     There is one thing in this world you can control and that is yourself. Only you can change your path, you and you alone.

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” – Oscar Wilde

     I haven’t found the answer yet and I probably wont, but that is ok. I just need to open my eyes and see. Realize that first and foremost family comes first, period. I am still a slave to a never ending job, but I know that and the first step is recognizing you have a problem, and I do. I am currently working on a solution to my problem. I know if I put perseverance and vigor in to my project it will bloom and so will I.

"Life is a journey, not a destination." Ralph Waldo Emerson

     Remember  to breath and to see. Life is wonderful once you stop being a  curmudgeon.

The reward for conformity was that everyone liked you except yourself.  ~Rita Mae Brown
